Technical Abstract

A transmitter is provided. The transmitter includes: a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoder configured to encode outer-encoded bits to generate an LDPC codeword including LDPC information bits and parity bits; a puncturer configured to puncture some of the parity bits included in the LDPC codeword; and a mapper configured to map the LDPC codeword except the punctured parity bits to symbols for transmission to a receiver, wherein the puncturer calculates a number of parity bits to be punctured among the parity bits included in the LDPC codeword based on a number of the outer-encoded bits, a number of the LDPC information bits, and a minimum number of parity bits to be punctured among the parity bits included in the LDPC codeword.

Patent Claims
5 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The TV broadcast signal transmitting method of claim 1, further comprising removing zero padding bits among the information bits.

3

3. The TV broadcast signal transmitting method of claim 2, wherein A represents a ratio of the number of parity bits to be punctured to a number of the zero padding bits to be removed, and the B represents a minimum number of the Npunc_temp.

5

5. The receiving method of claim 4, wherein the information bits comprise one or more zero padding bits and the input bits.

6

6. The receiving method of claim 5, wherein A represents a ratio of a number of parity bits to be punctured to a number of zero padding bits to be removed, and the B represents a minimum number of the Npunc_temp.

7

7. The receiving method of claim 4, wherein a modulation order for the demodulating is 2 in the first mode, and a modulation order for the demodulating is 2 in the second mode.
